Looks like a young Cliff Richard.

Now is a great time to play live tournies that aren't hosted by PokerStars. 888 and Party are building their live offerings, in particular Party is going in a great direction. There is the MPN Tour (Manchester, Tallinn), the Unibet UK tour and full 1k tour and the 500 Deepstack Open tour. WSOP just announced their circuit stops in Europe. WPT Deepstacks also has 1ks around Europe. In the UK there is GUKPT and GPS aswell as all the great stuff at DTD. Plus there are still one off tournaments like Masters Classics, Irish Open, stuff hosted by Casino's Austria.

I would say that if you play live you certainly don't need to play PokerStars tournaments! Yes of course the 1k and 5k main events in Barcelona are great tournaments, but there are loads of great tournaments to choose from.

great post ,you are right and of course  UK players dont have the associated travel costs going abroad and the WPT looks even better especially since the DTD tie up ( not too far from me )

Barcelona is second best to Vegas in my opinion so having missed V this year just fancied Catalan

Agree that Barcelona in August is pretty great.

Actually I've got to say that the satties for the 1k in Barcelona on Stars have been pretty good this year. Lots of big megasats, some of which have had overlays. Even feeder sats that had added seats which is almost unheard of on Stars.

Love Barcelona too.

Bergeroo, are you still going to play King's Casino.  It is a bit offputting when the casino owner allegedly welches on a £2m debt?

Some horrendous stories circulating here about him.

He was taking buy ins for the WSOPE thing at the cash tables IN CASH from players, it was said 17 players paid him the full buy in. More fool them of course, but it hardly inspires confidence.

The Kings Lounge thing at The Rio must have cost a fortune.

They're not budging:

Please note that this is not a new requirement; the only change has been to integrate it as a feature within the cashier to reduce the impact on our customers by reducing the number of transactions that are cancelled (due to no wagering) and the associated delays and inconvenience.

We can assure you we are fully regulated by the Gambling Commission and if you wish to know more about their regulations you can contact them directly or check their information at their web site which you can find in our page under our terms and conditions.

Wonderful.  So it is not in the regulations then?

So what they are doing is publically behaving in a scummy way rather than doing it in a shady manner.   

Still waiting for the first reply here.

It seems the issue is resolved on my account.  They paid me the entire first prize money from the hot 22 in compensation.

Someone on 2 plus 2 is claiming everyone does it. 

I have been limited at most major uk bookmakers and can't remember any of them stopping me withdrawing.  Whilst there are exceptions, such as bonus clearence and suspicuous transactions, I have never heard of anybody having to play through a deposit without an attaching bonus.  Though I dare say it could happen on some really crappy sites.

And just to check, I deposited some money on Shy Poker this afternoon.  I didn't play a single hand and then withdrew more money than was originally on the site (before the deposit) a few hours later. 

I am pretty sure I have done similar many times before.  You deposit a few hundred quid to make a series of bets and they limit you to 27p on a race on television (hello Sporting Bet), there is little else you can do other than withdraw. 

No communication from Stars yet. 

I am hardly Stars defender, but I can't blame them for requiring a playthrough to withdraw.

Each deposit and withdrawal costs them money. If people are just loading up and the withdrawing without play, it costs them.

Some of their other policies are far more obnoxious.

Strongly disagree.  Every other gambling company seems to absorb the cost.  If they have somebody abusing it by frequently depositing and withdrawing, they always have the ban hammer.

As it is problem gamblers can deposit £500 pissed on a Friday night, spunk £100 on the roulette.  They then wake up on the Saturday and you think it is reasonable they can't take £400 out because it cost Stars 30p* each way do a bank transfer? 

It is a flagrant breach of the treating customers fairly rules and ignores their responsibilities to problem gamblers.

Yes but this is a poker site that takes security very seriously and is fully regulated by "The Gambling Commission."

All procedures are safeguards that are put in place to protect players money and we dont have a sports-book or casino that players can blow their money on so .....Oh Wait  !

Didn't realise there were quite so many players in it.  People suggesting the ecosystem must be full of fish again.   

It might be amusing to see how many stars coin I get in my chest with that ROI?

Really was right on the borders of quitting and not depositting again.

I'm sure if this person was to write an email stating how they have a gambling problem and wish to have their account banned and money returned stars would oblige.
